Gregory Groff
Gregory Groff received a BFA in Painting from The San Francisco Art Institute. His work uses spontaneous processes, out of which he carves space and form. While building layer upon layer, like strata, some of the initial underlying layers are left intact, which allows for a sort of archaeological investigation into how the space was formed. And as forms coalesces out of formlessness, attention is paid to not overly defining those forms, so that the viewer has room to decide for themselves what they are seeing and to explore the space on their own terms. You can see more of his work here: https://www.instagram.com/gregory_groff/

I am also a master jeweler, welder and play piano and a graduate from, the art school Sir John Cass School of Art on East Aldgate. I am a specialist concerning my writing, meaning when I was 16 I answered an on line for LGBTQ erotica, wrote something sold it instantly, thus my career in the world of hard core, film noir LGBTQ (Lesbian Erotica) exploded. To date with world wide publishers I have had 17 novels published too many to count short stories, novellas published world wide. STREET CREDS on Google Search (Jane Brooke Erotica). No more mountains to climb within that venue for the last two years I began and have finished 6 (Non Erotica) mostly LGBTQ full length novels all concerning the social ills of our vaporizing world. Enough about me.
